6.2.11 Conservation
6.2.11.1 Application
This code applies to development where the code is identified as applicable in a table of assessment. When using this code, reference should be made to section 5.3.2 and where applicable, section 5.3.3 located in Part 5.
6.2.11.2 Purpose
- The purpose of the conservation zone code is to provide for the protection, restoration and management of areas (such as National Parks) identified as supporting significant biological diversity and ecological integrity.
- The purpose of the zone will be achieved through the following overall outcomes:
- The ecological values of land in the conservation zone are protected from the impacts of development.
- Very low intensity development related to the conservation and environmental values of the area may be facilitated where a demonstrated community need exists.
- Nature based tourism and outdoor recreation are facilitated where a demonstrated community need exists and the use does not detrimentally affect the environmental values of the area.
- Adverse impacts from on–site and adjoining sites are minimised or avoided through the location, design and management of development and activities.
- Activities undertaken by recognised traditional owners in accordance with traditional owner custom and practice may be considered.
- Land is publically accessible where this does not compromise other overall outcomes.
- Development does not fragment regional or local environmental corridors and maintains linkages to areas with other ecological values.
